Key Features
Five 75-watt-per-channel amplifiers with high-performance digital power supply
The AVR 101 high-performance audio/video receiver pumps out 75 watts per channel to power a full five-channel surround-sound system. It can also connect to
a powered subwoofer to provide enhanced low-frequency performance for all your entertainment. While the amplifier retains the time-tested JBL® high-current-
capacity (HCC), ultrawide-bandwidth amplifier design to ensure the most accurate, dynamic sound with enhanced clarity and realism, even at the highest listening
levels, a digitally based power supply gives the amplifiers all the muscle they need without the weight of traditional power-supply designs and their heavy transformers.
The net result is a great-sounding AVR in a smaller form that is friendly to the environment.

More ways to connect

The AVR 101 can connect to compatible Apple devices, such as the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, directly via its front-panel USB jack, and play their content without
the need for an external adapter. The AVR is also DLNA 1.5 compliant, which gives you more options for delivering content over your home network.

Built-in vTuner Internet radio

The AVR 101 features vTuner Internet radio technology to connect you to a whole world of online audio entertainment. As soon as it’s out of the box, you can stream
over-the-air radio stations from around the globe as well as stream from a wide range of Internet-only radio stations.

Four 3D-ready HDMI inputs

Four HDMI inputs with 3D and 30/36-bit Deep Color deliver high-definition digital video at resolutions up to 1080p with full-fidelity audio through a single cable. There
is no loss of video or audio quality because of format conversion, just full-impact Hollywood excitement as its creators meant you to experience it. And because it
features 4K pass-through, your ultra-high definition videos will make it all the way to compatible television screens.

Front-panel USB port for connection to Apple products or USB sticks

The AVR 101 gives you more options for audio playback with its front-panel USB port. Simply connect an iPhone, iPad or USB stick to play your stored tracks through
your home entertainment system.

Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding

The AVR 101 delivers high-resolution audio that matches the digital video quality of Blu-ray Disc™ formats, unlocking the full potential of movie soundtracks formatted
with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio coding. No matter what mode or mood you are in, you’ll always hear audio playback at its finest.

HARMAN GreenEdge certification

The HARMAN GreenEdge logo assures you that the AVR 101’s design is environmentally friendly without compromising the premium performance for which HARMAN
products are known. Thanks to an advanced power supply, the AVR 101 can deliver high-quality audio in a small, light chassis that uses less metal and plastic. The
small design means that less fuel is used in transportation, with the end result being a lower carbon footprint.

New, compact design

The AVR 101 takes the award-winning JBL design look to a new level with a flush volume control and more compact design. Because of the lighter weight made
possible by an advanced digital power supply, the unit weighs less without sacrificing performance so that it is the perfect match for the thin glass shelves of today’s
open TV/entertainment furniture.

Colour-coded connectors and binding-post speaker terminals

All connections on the AVR 101 are colour-coded to simplify hook-up and reduce errors. What could be easier?

Multidevice, programmable remote control

The AVR 101 simplifies your life with a programmable infrared (IR) remote control. Its design works seamlessly with the receiver’s multilingual on-screen display,
guiding you through system setup and operation with consummate ease. The multidevice remote can also control your TV, cable boxes, satellite tuners and other
playback sources. For further installation flexibility, there is a 12-volt trigger output and a remote IR sensor input.
